Burning Shed Label

Founded in 2001 and originally intended as an online, on-demand, label selling uniquely packaged CDRs, in addition to establishing online stores for niche artists, Burning Shed quickly developed its own label range of fully packaged CDs and DVDs.

Daniel Cavanagh and Joseph Geraci - The Passage - Deluxe Edition (cd)

**Final copies of this limited edition pressing (stock returned from our distributor)**

Graceful and atmospheric, The Passage is the unique result of a collaboration between Anathema's Daniel Cavanagh and writer Joseph Geraci (the voice on Internal Landscapes from Anathema's celebrated 2012 release, Weather Systems).

Presented as a 17 part continuous suite of textures, poetry and songs, The Passage is a seductive and unpretentious marriage of spoken word and music that highlights the growing sophistication in Daniel Cavanagh's compositional capabilities.

The cd is presented in a dvd-sized digibook and includes striking Carl Glover images in addition to the poetic texts.

Nick Beggs - The Darkness In Mens Hearts (cd)

Topped and tailed with two new pieces, Nick Beggs's Burning Shed label debut is a compilation of the solo Chapman Stick pieces from his two albums, The Stick Insect (2000) and The Maverick Helmsman (2004).

Containing superbly executed lyrical and atmospheric sketches that by turns suggest Modern Jazz (Metheny, Pastorious), Art Rock (Tony Levin), Ambient, and Classical guitar recitals, The Darkness In Men's Hearts is a consistently engaging and meditative experience that displays the more introspective side of a most extrovert performer.

With Nick currently enjoying success with both Lifesigns and the Steven Wilson band, The Darkness In Men's Hearts provides an ideal opportunity to sample the work of one of Britain's most distinctive bass players.

Red is the color of danger, passion, fire and blood. Embody all of these every time you wear our Red Logo t-shirt to go to the supermarket.

'Take 60's/70's influences such as early Floyd, Soft Machine and VDGG and mix them with Rain Tree Crow and late King Crimson. One of the most interesting Prog bands to come out of the UK in recent years.' - Feedback Magazine

Marvin Ayres - Harmogram Suite (CD + 5.1 surround sound DVD)

Marvin Ayres' Harmogram Suite is a six movement composition for cello, string orchestra and choir.

An accessible and compelling hybrid of contemporary Classical and Ambient music, Ayres' work distinctively evokes the Holy Minimalist purity of Arvo Part and the timeless textural experimentation of Brian Eno.

Letka - Far Off Country (cd)

Seamlessly combining Country and Ambient influences in a uniquely ethereal way, Letka is the latest collaboration between Irish vocalist Sandra O'Neill and English multi-instrumentalist Peter Chilvers.

The evocative digipack, designed by Carl Glover, features images from his archive of photographs of American ghost towns.

Centrozoon - Bigger Space - Live In Germany (dvd-r)

As part of its 10th anniversary celebrations, Burning Shed brings Centrozoon's Bigger Space back into print.

Deleted for over five years, the dvd-r offers a fascinating perspective on the short-lived Bowness, Reuter & Woestheinrich incarnation of the band.

Recorded in the Autumn of 2003 and filmed at a small-scale warm-up performance, Bigger Space is a unique document featuring hidden extras and the evocative black and white images of photographer Telemach Wiesing

This short but compelling release provides an ideal companion to 2004's Never Trust The Way You Are.

Presented with new artwork, this is available as NTSC Region 0 and should play on most players worldwide.

hugh hopper and matt howarth - the stolen hour (cd)

Gloriously atmospheric and intense, 2004's 'The Stolen Hour' was a superb extension of Hugh Hopper's 'Jazzloops' series of explorations written to accompany the distinctive imagery of comic book artist, Matt Howarth.

Assisted by, amongst others, Robert Wyatt (cornet, voice), John Marshall and Didier Malherbe, Hopper updated the Jazz-tinged Minimalist looping he initially developed in the 1960s, evoking the innovative spirit of early Soft Machine, while simultaneously suggesting new possibilities for his music.

terry stamp - bootlace johnnie and the ninety-nines (cd)

Intense, poetic, earthy and emotive, the astonishing 'Bootlace Johnnie and the Ninety-Nines' contained the first new recordings for nearly 30 years of songs by Terry Stamp and Jim Avery (the songwriters at the heart of uncompromisingly political 1970s cult band Third World War).

Sensitively guided by the inventive production and playing of Alistair Murphy, 'Bootlace Johnnie' was a potent reminder of Terry Stamp's highly individual voice and lyrical style.

terry stamp - howling for the highway home (cd)

Terry Stamp followed his acclaimed Burning Shed debut 'Bootlace Johnnie and the Ninety-Nines' (Uncut's 'Americana Album Of The Month' and Daily Mirror's 'Album Of The Week') with 'Howling for the Highway Home', which featured twelve evocative narrative-driven songs from the former leader of 1970s cult band Third World War (TWW).

Along with covers and name-checks from Marc Almond and Paul Weller and an article in Classic Rock, 'Howling for the Highway Home' was yet another strong addition to the growing reputation of this underrated and influential singer-songwriter.

nunbient - just another dark age (cdr)

Influenced by a wide range of artists including Bass Communion, Boards of Canada, Tortoise, and composers such as Reich, Glass and Arvo Pärt, Nunbient is an ambient/electro-acoustic collaboration between Joff Winks and Matt Baber.

Utilising both real instruments (including vibes, guitars and harmonium) and processed synthetic and ambient textures, Just Another Dark Age is an exploration in which field recording and sound design are the primary catalyst for a unique experience that can be described as a visually evocative and cinematic journey that swings between moments of luminous sound and intense aural collages.

Darkroom - Some Of These Numbers Mean Something (cd)

Darkroom's latest album, Some Of These Numbers Mean Something - their 8th to date -marks the 10th anniversary of debut release, Daylight.

The original brief for the new album was, 'place guitar under microscope'. In places, it's the hardest hitting Darkroom album to date, but without doubt it's also the most accessible, combining 70's space rock, 80's Sheffield electronica, 60's guitar instrumentals and contemporary post rock.

Roger Eno - Anatomy (cd)

An exquisite companion piece to Fragile (Music), Roger Eno's Anatomy expands upon the spare, piano only, experiments of his previous album, with a series of instinctive and reflective keyboard instrumentals deploying delicate textures and his typically distinctive use of space.

Roger Eno - Flood (cd)

Flood was constructed by Roger Eno for the 2008 Salthouse Art Festival in North Norfolk.

Utilising birdsong, bells, sparse keyboard melodies, vocal textures, and bass notes in an intentionally random way, the album is an attempt to emulate a soundtrack, or atmospheric musical backdrop as opposed to creating a specific musical focal point.

the resonance association - failure of the grand design

'Failure Of The Grand Design' is The Resonance Association's debut album for Burning Shed.

Clocking in at just under 55 minutes, the album consists of nine dark and ambitious instrumentals (described by the band as being an 'ambient-techno-goth-prog crossover') , and includes a new version of live favourite 'Electrolyte'.

burning shed - sampler three (cdr)

Burning Shed's third label sampler was issued in 2007 in a colour printed card wallet. We have now re-packaged this to match our other CDR releases and it comes in a rubber-stamped brown card envelope.

osi - re: free (12 inch vinyl)

OSI's debut release on Burning Shed is a vinyl EP featuring three radical remixes of tracks taken from the band's recent Free album.The Go remix is provided by Martin Gretschmann, AKA Console, the highly respected keyboardist and programmer from influential German electronica outfit, the Notwist. OSI's Kevin Moore is responsible for the new mixes of Kicking and Home Was Good.

Containing almost half an hour of material, re: free is a fascinating, alternative glimpse into the sonic possibilities of one of the most unique and challenging rock groups to emerge in the last half decade.

peter chilvers - piano (cd)

Echoing the powerful and ambitious 1970s solo piano suites by the likes of Keith Jarrett and Chick Corea, Peter Chilvers' 'Piano' represents a return to the influences and improvisations that marked Peter's introduction to music.

The album's highlights include 'Ghost Town Suite', a linked sequence of seven atmospherically downbeat pieces recorded in a single half hour session.
